A happy Labor Day holiday to our US and Canadian readers. Ah, a nice break before everything roars up to high level again with the end of summer school breaks and holidays.

On Monday LifeSiteNews will be moved to yet another new server. This has become a hobby for us, it seems. This time, we are thankfully not having to endure a big jump in monthly costs for a hugely more powerful system, but there are significant costs for technical preparations, transferring everything over to the new servers and lots of testing to make sure it works well. We ask for your patience if there are any initial glitches. Distressing site slowdowns this past month, because of yet again high traffic volume increases, made this latest move absolutely necessary.

Governor Romney ‘mispoke’ (this is getting to be a regularly used word this election) about supporting abortion for ‘health’ of the mother. That’s a relief. Many hope he will come to his senses and also finally drop the rape and incest exceptions that undermine his pro-life credibility.

There is an update to yesterday’s Pussy Riot story. As we hinted might be the case, it has been confirmed that the murder noted in the story was not actually directly related to the rioters. See the revised report.

PLEASE DONATE TO KEEP THIS BLOG OPERATING. GOD BLESS+ YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY DAILY PRAYERS! Marianne, my wife, suffered a heart attack on March 13th, 2012. On 7/23/2013, she suffered a stroke and was hospitalized for over 3 weeks. On 8/9/2013, Marianne went to the Lord. Deacon John

I'm Deacon John, age 77, ordained 4/25/87 as a Permanent Deacon for the Diocese of Brooklyn.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is a likely pro-life candidate for the Republican nomination for president and he burnished those pro-life credentials today by issuing a letter saying he would sign a bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks.

Laura Nelson She would have been 63 this year. But, instead of a birthday, yesterday, we remembered the 10th anniversary of her death. My sister Patty died 10 years ago from cancer after a six year journey of diagnoses, treatments, side effects, and lots of prayers.

One of the memes currently circulating is that Pope Francis is in the midst of radically changing the American episcopate in a leftward, “progressive” direction. And whether or not you like using terms like “progressive” and “orthodox”, the media and some figures in the church are eager to claim that big change is happening.

Right now I am in the midst of making daily podcasts and, in them, mentioning the Roman Station church of the day. I provide a little history of the churches. Thus, I am daily reminded that churches can come and go. They are built, used for a time, torn down because of damage or need for another structure. Time marches on. And yet we revel in our most a […]

WASHINGTON — By listening to people’s suffering, joys and daily endeavors, Catholics bring the vision of the Second Vatican Council to the world, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila, Philippines, told an audience at The Catholic University of America.

Psalm 93 [Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition]

1 The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.
2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?
4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?
5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.
7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.
13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
15 Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell.
18 If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?
21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.
23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
